Hello everyone,
I unfortunately sold my 97 turbo2k last year, and now that I am getting married in just over 3 weeks I may have the possibility of getting another scoob for the wedding/honeymoon. The honeymoon is a 1000 mile round trip around south/sw england and south wales, with some very nice roads!

I would like some advice as to what to look out for with bugeyes - body, engine etc.

I am finding it hard to get a happy medium i.e. handling, comfort, space against brute power. I am to blame as my classic was very noisy and had very modified suspension!

We have narrowed it down to a wrx sti V7 which I am looking at tomorrow and a normal wrx on Saturday.

Any pointers will be helpful, thank you please!

Knocking rear struts, rusty parts underneath, slipping clutch, listen for knocking on start up (cold engine) also regular oil changes/service history are good to see. JDM have higher spec in standard form.

Cheers for that! Fingers crossed I may come home with it tomorrow

Have a good look under the evaparator at the metal work there. I have recently replaced mine. Not a massive job but one less that you could do with.

Not to sound thick but whereabouts is that? Haven't owned a car with a/c!!

Just to let you all know I am now a very happy owner of a STI V7
